Using HP StorageWorks Fabric Manager (FM) 5.5 or earlier with Fabric OS 6.1.1 or later can result in problems with Zoning, Performance
monitoring, SYSLOG configuration, FICON wizards, IOD Delay, AAA replication, Port enable/disable, and other functions. Fabric Manager
is not recommended for fabrics running these versions of Fabric OS, and is not supported with Fabric OS 6.3.x.
